RCUK International Strategy

Through the RCUK International Strategy, we outline the ways in which RCUK helps the best researchers work together, wherever they are in the world. We recognise that research is critical to solving grand challenges, and that increasingly the solutions will require work across boundaries, crossing disciplines, and borders between nations. Balancing collaborations with competitiveness means we can increase our impact, bringing considerable benefit to the society and economy of the UK by working with overseas partners.

The RCUK International Strategy sets out how we can grasp new opportunities to build on the UK’s already impressive international reach. The strategy aims to:

• increase RCUK influence in international research strategy and policy development;
  
• provide opportunities for excellent UK Researchers to flourish in global collaborations;
  
• enhance the value and impact of research through international collaboration;
  
• show RCUK commitment to key global responsibilities in a work where challenges cross national boundaries.
